'DEtEMaUM MEEDS': 
Plant Good Seeds or Pay the Penalty 
“Ye Reap What Ye Sow” 
HALL'S SELECTED 
CULTURE—Plant about four inches deep In rows 28 to 
34 Inches apart, and drop the potatoes 12 to 15 inches 
apart in the row. The soil should be well manured or 
well fertilized. A ridge should be thrown over the 
potatoes after planting and then level down just be¬ 
fore the potatoes come through, and cultivate well 
until in bloom, and then ridge up again and leave alone 
until harvested. Use JOHN DEERE POTATO PLANT¬ 
ERS AND DIGGERS. 
HALCO BRAND FERTILIZER—Vegetable Grower, Potato 
and Tobacco Grower. 500 to 1,000 lbs. an acre in the 
row. 
IRISH COBBLER—We believe we are safe in saying 
that 76 per cent of all the extra early potatoes 
planted today are Cobbler. Its popularity is based 
principally on its extreme earliness, but is also based 
on its reputation as a reliable and uniform ylelder. 
One of its strong characteristics is that it makes 
few if any very small potatoes, practically all being 
medium to large size, and you rarely see a knotty 
Cobbler, for they are generally plump, handsome 
potatoes with smooth skin. The tubers are round 
to oval in shape, slightly flattened, have strong, 
well-developed eyes; the flesh Is pure white and 
cooks dry and mealy. A first-class potato in every 
respect, thoroughly dependable and well worth a 
place in every garden.

CERTIFIED IRISH COBBLERS—It is false economy to 
save fifty cents or a dollar a bag by buying poor 
common potatoes when certified seed can be had—the 
most successful potato growers use nothing but certi¬ 
fied seed. Certification has done for potatoes what 
breeding has done for horses, cattle, hogs, etc. During 
the growing season the fields must be Inspected at 
regular intervals to detect diseases. If the percentage 
exceeds the limit prescribed by law, the field is con¬ 
demned. The small additional cost of certified seed 
over poor seed Is not worth considering. There is less 
disease, more No. 1 potatoes and greater profit to the 
grower. Every bag will carry the tag of the inspec¬ 
tion authorities; this is an assurance that every safe¬ 
guard has been applied to have them as pure as is 
humanly possible. 100 lbs. $2.50.

SEED POTATOES 
IRISH COBBLER POTATOES 
POTATOES 
Lower Costs and Better Potato Yields 
with Improved SEMESAN BEL 
Rhizoctonia reduces the Quality 
and yield of potatoes. 
Scab pits potatoes and makes 
them unsalable. 
The spotty stand of potatoes on the left grown from 
untreated seed did not produce as large a yield as the 
fine stand of vigorous plants on the right from Im¬ 
proved Semesan Bel treated seed. 
Simply mix, dip, drain, dry and 
your seed potatoes are ready for 
planting. Semesan Bel may be used 
on either whole or cut seed pieces. 
Semesan Bel effectively controls 
such seed-borne disease organisms 
as scab, rhizoctonia and black-leg. 
By controlling these diseases, germ¬ 
ination is generally Increased, stand 
improved and the resultant crop big¬ 
ger and of better quality. One pound 
treats 16 to 20 bushels of seed.
